  • The study, involving 177 participants, found that individuals with lower self-regulation tend to procrastinate more at bedtime, which in turn results in fewer hours of sleep and increased fatigue during the day.

1. Так, я сам інколи такий. Цьому є назва - прокрастинація як уникання сну. або revenge bedtime procrastination. або 報復性熬夜. Це безсвідома безглузда відмова від здорового сну. Йдеться про помсту, а точніше, про відновлення контролю над нашим життям https://t.co/9MQPjYmNrX

Is "Revenge Bedtime Procrastination" is fake? Another interpretation is stress is killing gut bacteria that regulates serotonin/melatonin regulation leading to poor sleep. We're overlooking it thru psychoanalyzing anxiety behavior. https://t.co/5ic0eYPrYP https://t.co/hu642VUe1a https://t.co/X14z0FNLxZ

@nicky_ninedoors Bedtime procrastination is a real thing. It has to do with time that is yours (sleep time) being the only true time you have to yourself because no one can take it from you. So you use it just for you. https://t.co/TfaSOWKkap
